Where Slough sits

Slough (SL1) sits in OS grid square SU97, about 17 miles east of Reading. Sites between here and Windsor or Gerrards Cross are just as much of interest to us.

The Thames valley towns are under steady pressure for new homes. Much of east Berkshire is Metropolitan Green Belt, and the west takes in part of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape.

When a land joint venture suits land near Slough

  • Landowners who want a share in development profit
  • Families and estates with a long-term view
  • Land with planning permission or a strong prospect
  • Sites suitable for phased delivery

Some landowners want more than a price. A joint venture lets you share in the value of the finished homes, in return for waiting and accepting some risk.

The terms that matter

Risk

You share in downside as well as upside, so independent advice is essential.

Land value

How your land is valued going into the venture matters.

Exit

Agreements should say what happens if either side wants out.

Tax

Joint ventures can change how your proceeds are taxed, so take tax advice first.

Rules that apply in England

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Tax on the sale

The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're not sure you can afford to wait

Many structures pay part of the land value up front, with the rest as homes sell.

You want to keep part of the land

Joint ventures can cover just part of your holding.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access

What people ask us about a land joint venture

Is a joint venture better than selling?

It can pay more, but you wait longer and share the risk. It suits some owners and not others.

What happens if the homes sell for less than expected?

Depending on the structure, your share may fall. That's the risk you take in return for sharing upside.

Can a joint venture include affordable homes?

Yes. Affordable and social housing can form part of a scheme, and we can talk through how it affects returns.

Do you buy land in Slough?

Yes. We consider land in and around Slough and across Berkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
